The Edison phonograph monthly (Mar-Dec 1907)

4 Edison Phonograph Monthly, Dec. , 1907 Miss Tobin will win many friends through this, her first Record. Orchestra accompaniment. Words, Ballard MacDonald ; music, Donovan Meher; publishers, Francis, Day & Hunter, New York. 9759 He Lifted Me Anthony and Harrison The mere reading of this title will bring pleasure to hosts of owners of Edison Phonographs, owners who have waited so long for its appearance on a Record. The music has been slightly rearranged to permit of incidental solos by both the tenor and baritone voices, but the original air is carefully preserved in its sweet simplicity. Words, Charlotte G. Homer; music, Chas. H. Gabriel. 9760 Romance and Reality Edward M. Favor The mere reading of this title will bring pleasure to hosts of owners of Edison Phonographs, for Mr. Favor has always been a great favorite and he has not been able for some time to make a Record for us. Mr. Favor's position as a comic opera artist of wide fame keeps him on the road a large part of the time and it is only when he returns to New York that we can get him to sing for the Phonograph. This song is one of the hits in "Fascinating Flora." Mr. Favor scored nightly with it for many weeks at the Casino, New York. Two lively verses and two choruses point out the difference between plays and novels in romance and reality, and how the story of Cinderella works out in modern days. The song is one of those lively, witty ditties with which Mr. Favor has been most successful as a Phonograph singer. Orchestra accompaniment. Music, Baldwin Sloan ; words, Louis Harrison. Not published. 9761 American Polka John Kimmble An accordion solo that will add much to Mr. Kimmble's already widespread popularity as a player of unusual skill on this somewhat peculiar musical instrument. Mr. Kimmble's execution will do much to dissipate the opinion that many have concerning the musical qualities of the accordion. In his hands it becomes most attractive. His previous Records are among the best sellers in the Edison catalogues and his newest contribution will rank fully as high in selling qualities. Piano accompaniment. Composer, John Kimmble. Not published. 9762 I Miss You Like the Roses Miss the Rain Reed Miller A charming bit of sentiment, set to a delightful refrain, is this selection by an artist whose songs grow more and more popular as the months pass by. The lover's simile, as given in the title, is quite as pretty as anything published in some time. Mr. Miller's rendition of the song is fully in keeping with its other attractive features. Orchestra accompaniment. Music, Halsey K. Mohr; words, Will A. Mahoney; publisher, P. J. Howley,. New York. 9763 The Little Old Log Cabin in the Lane Edison Male Quartette Many who hear this old time melody will reiterate their belief that few songs of the present day are as attractive as these favorites of several decades ago. Thirty-five or more years have elapsed since this song was whistled and sung everywhere, but it has lost none of the characteristics that made it popular then. Our Record of it will bring back many pleasant recollections to those who knew of it in its earlier days, especially after hearing the splendid manner in which it is rendered by the Edison Male Quartette. Unaccompanied. Music by Hayes. Writer of words and publisher not known. 9764 Imitation of Amateur Night at the Vaudeville Steve Porter Every one who has ever attended a vaudeville performance on a night when amateurs are permitted to exhibit their talents (or lack of them) will appreciate the cleverness of Mr. Porter's imitations. Mr. Porter also shows his unusual versatility in this Record. His portrayal of Benny Monroe's efforts at German dialect, Keeny & Walker's Irish sidewalk conversational sketch, and Gladys O'Brien's singing of "Love Me and the World Is Mine," are so different that it is difficult to believe that Mr. Porter has no assistance and that he is the only performer. This will be one of the hits of the February list. Original and not published. 9765 The Smiler Vess L. Ossman A banjo solo played by one of the best performers in the country. Mr. Ossman's work is that of one who has spent years in mastering the technique of the banjo. His selection is a lively march, perfectly suited to the banjo, that is making a decided hit throughout the country. Orchestra accompaniment. Composer, Percy Wenrich; publishers, Arnett Delonais Co., Chicago. 9766 Two Little Baby Shoes Byron G. Harlan Mr. Harlan has sung and taken part in many good songs and sketches, but in none has he been more successful than in what are professionally known as "baby songs." His sympathetic style of singing is admirably suited to such songs. "Two Little Baby Shoes" tells a pathetic story of a husband and wife who were re-united after a quarrel by the message conveyed
